during a period of nine years (1982-1991), pauwels' osteotomy was performed for 38 cases of femoral neck non-::::union::::. 32 led to consolidation with one osteotomy (84%) and 6 failed (3 needed revision (92%), one died and two were lost to follow-up). the length of follow-up was 2-11 years, the average time of non-::::union:::: 12 months (ranging from 4 months to 13 years) and the mean p...

Looking for bladder exstrophy as a diagnosis, we found 356 cases in our database, which makes us one of the biggest centers of exstrophy-epispadias complex treatment in the world. Some patients are treated at our institution from the beginning while others are coming for further treatment after primary bladder exstrophy closure or because of complications and poor results of surgery performed a...

BACKGROUND Because of the various defects of malarplasty, including a large incision, much bleeding, visible scars after the operation, and so on, caused by the conventional coronal incision or the temporal incision with the intraoral incision approach, the malarplasty by simple intraoral approach is an innovative development. METHODS Through the intraoral approach and subperiosteal dissectio...

Salter Harris fractures of the distal femur can lead to growth disturbance with resulting leg length inequality and knee deformity. We have looked at a case series (3) of patients who presented with a distal femur flexion malunion and shortening treated with a distal femoral osteotomy and plating and a proximal femoral osteotomy with a magnetic internal lengthening nail. Does a two-level osteot...

Moderate to severe hallux valgus is conventionally treated by proximal metatarsal osteotomy. Several recent studies have shown that the indications for distal metatarsal osteotomy with a distal soft-tissue procedure could be extended to include moderate to severe hallux valgus. The purpose of this prospective randomised controlled trial was to compare the outcome of proximal and distal Chevron ...

objectives: implant primary stability is one of the important factors in achieving implant success. the osteotome technique may improve primary stability in patients with poor bone quality. the aim of this study was to compare implant stability using two different techniques namely osteotome versus conventional drilling in the posterior maxilla. materials and methods: in this controlled randomi...

Adequate correction of hallux valgus may be attempted at various levels of the first ray complex, depending on appropriate determination of the apex of the deformity. Methods of correction may include first metatarsal base osteotomy and first metatarsal head osteotomy as well as uncomplicated first metatarsophalangeal joint soft tissue realignment. In those instances in which the major deformit...

Evans calcaneal lengthening osteotomy is a powerful surgical technique utilized in the correction of a flatfoot deformity. The known biomechanical complications associated with performing the calcaneal osteotomy alone involve increased lateral column pressures. The present study involves a patient who developed a sub fifth metatarsal ulceration with weightbearing after an Evans calcaneal osteot...

Tailor’s Bunion (TB) is a prominence of the Vth metatarsal bone at the base of the little toe. Scarf Osteotomy (SO) is a very useful technique to treat TB and in some cases it represents the first-rate surgical treatment for this deformity. The aim of this paper is to describe this little known pathology, analyze all surgical techniques of the past and review controlled trials or reviews that c...
